gmqon Solo.im – A single founder peer group

I signed up but I haven't got anything after the confirmation email. Is there a waiting list?

gmqon The 10k Bootstrap Challenge

This is really interesting. I'm giving myself 6 months to get _something_ out there (I'm not sure what exactly, yet) or a job in a tech related field.

gmqon Ask HN: What web services do you pay for?

http://crashplan.com - Easy unlimited backup. For all those things that don't fit in my dropbox folder. Also, it's the only service I found that had few bad reviews (unlike Mozy).

http://linode.com - Good and reliable VPS.

Does it count if you only need to pay once for the service? If yes:

http://pinboard.in - The cleanest bookmarking service around.
